The UK Ragga-Punk-Metallers begin their 2008 UK headline run, entitled the 'GUNSHOT MEANS REWIND' Tour this May, to promote their new album 'ROOTS ROCK RIOT', which features the crowd pleasers 'Rat Race', 'Rudeboy For Life' and the new single 'Trouble'. The new record (available on Warner Bros/Bieler Bros) is the follow up to their debut release 'BABYLON' which has reached worldwide sales of over 300,000 and featured the songs 'Pressure' and US chart-topping 'Nobody'. The 2008 'GUNSHOT MEANS REWIND' tour kicks off on the 15th May, and features support from Exeter-based IDIOM (recent supports to From Autumn To Ashes) and other very special guests.
